This wise and richly practical book, written by master teacher Rod Stryker, is a roadmap for achieving your soul’s call to greatness, your spiritual and material dreams––in short, to becoming the person you were meant to be. It is filled with revealing true stories, provocative exercises, and practices for unlocking your inner guidance. • Discover your soul’s unique purpose –– the one you came into this world to fulfill
• Recognize the immediate goal(s) that your soul aspires you to accomplish at any given time and enliven your capacity to achieve them.
• Overcome self-defeating ideas and behavior
• Discover how anything, including your challenges, are actually helping to guide you to a better life
• Learn to live with joy at every stage of your growth
THE FOUR DESIRES is nothing less than a complete path toward living your best life possible—a life that is rich in meaning and in means, a life that attracts and emanates happiness, a life that is your unique gift to yourself and the world. (Available at Amazon, Barnes&Noble, Borders, IndieBound, Powells, and BAM books)
Please note: the ParaYoga office will not be handling wholesale orders for the book. If you are interested in a wholesale order for the book, you would need to get set up in the Random House system as a retail vendor (if you are not already set up that way because they’ve sold other RH products in the past). Please contact Stacy Berenbaum (sberenbaum@randomhouse.com), 212-572-2378
Alternately, yoga studios can and often do buy directly from wholesale book distributors (Ingram Books or Baker and Taylor) since those wholesalers require less paperwork and credit checks to be set up as an account.
